Emotional Growth
It can be a sign of progress when old-timers practice the AA principles in the wider world outside
CONCERNING the "Old-Timer's Dilemma" (a letter in the December 1973 Grapevine), may I suggest that this feeling of not getting what we need from the regular group meeting any more may be evidence of our own emotional growth and maturity. Maybe a Power greater than ourselves is trying to tell us to broaden the scope of our interests and activities--to spend more of our time practicing the AA principles among people in general, and to use the things we began to learn when we were new in AA, in order to live richer, fuller lives without alcohol.
